I grew up in Hong Kong. If you know what dim sum is supposed to taste like, definitely don't go here. If you're the kind of person who puts soy sauce on your rice, it's great.

I’ve eaten at a lot of dim sum restaurants and this is the worst I’ve tried due to the quality of food.1) very limited dim sum menu (not normal to not have rice noodle rolls)2) poor wrapping of the shrimp dumplings and siu mai3) pork buns were staleThe soup dumplings were ok.If you’re ok with Americanized dim sum then go here. Do not go here for authentic dim sum.

We got the pork soup dumplings and crab and pork soup dumplings as well as fried rice cake with pork. The soup dumplings are great 10/10. The wrapper was nice and thin but did not rip once. There was a great wrapper to meat ratio and there was plenty of soup in the dumpling. The ratios of all components were perfectly correct and on top of that, it was delicious. Definitely better hot though. It started to be more mid as it cooled but if you eat fast, you'll have a great experience. I also appreciated that the pork only soup dumpling tasted differently from the pork and crab soup dumplings as some places put minimal amounts of crab such that they taste largely the same. Wonderful wonderful experience, would recommend. The fried rice cake was good, a little more chewy than I expected. Essentially ttbeokki with lo mein taste for those wondering. 7/10 Loved this place Note: cash only

The food is not that good, Ocean Harbor and Grand Place is so much better. The glasses of water looks so greasy. I sat in the back of the restaurant before bc I had a big party. The back smelled like sewage.

Great place to eat. I got there when it first opened on a Thursday. Ordered the Pan Fried Pork Soup Dumplings and Beef HoFun. Surprisingly, the HoFun came out first. Thought that perhaps they forgot or that the HoFun should be enough for one person. Then the dumplings came out with the server explain that they make them fresh so that's why not takes so long. I'm glad these two both came out. I loved them both!!! Decore is nice and the staff (server, manager, etc.) were very pleasant and welcoming. Big plus is that they provided a kettle of hot tea on this dank and dreary day. Five dumplings (out of five) for this place. :-)

We have been here many times and have never been disappointed even on a busy day. Today was a big disappointment...we had the vegetable dumplings that arrived luke warm and no taste. The fried pork & scallion dumplings were good. We also ordered the black pepper steak that was way overcooked, raw peppers and the meat was like shoe leather, unable to eat the meat and had to fight with it to chew it, food was uneatable and a total Waste of money. In addition, the women reached over my plate to clean an area on the table and put the dirty rag into my plate that I was still attempting to eat a dumpling, disgusting. There are too many good restaurants in Chinatown that has excellent quality food, this place now serves substandard food. Total price with tip $50

I always stop by here if I'm in China town. Great food and authentic. They come around and you pick food from the carts. Food is delicious.

Some of the best Chinese food in the city

CASH ONLY (like many Chinese restaurants). The soup dumplings did not disappoint! They were juicy, soupy, rich, and tender. The skin was strong and did not rip prematurely. I only wish that they gave dumplings sauce with ginger. There was soy sauce and vinegar on the table but I did have to ask for small saucers. The udon and vegetable dumplings were also good! I didn't try anything else. There is ample seating especially for a narrow city restaurant.

Dimsum was great! When the food say spicy, it’s actually very spicy , so be careful:))The minus is CASH

One of my favorite spots in the city! Great food and the service team feels like family. They’ll never steer you wrong if you want to try something new, and always deliver your favorites at a high and consistent quality! Maybe I’ll go this weekend - getting hungry while writing this review.
